It was good insight to be able to lay down how exhausted you felt and moved on to the purposes for being there. And the Lord's grace and strength were there for you to do it. I need to remember that. Also, I see that missionary work in the country is for the young. Thanks for the indepth blog--I really appreciate your observations and experiences. Love, Mom Dear Padded Butt,

I though to myself "Is it ever going to end?" Luckily for me, that wasn't how I felt as I read it (though it did take several minutes to scroll back to the top). So from what I can tell, we should be praying for padded butts (which, of course, means good and plentiful food) so as to keep the good word spreading... Love you!

So we can add "Sleeping" to the list, and it sounds like "Padded Butt" may also be one, though you were not definitive on that. Thanks for a great piece of diary! Love, Dad Becky,
